Payout Perspective:
Bellator 155 was not the best of cards and yet it did pretty well in the ratings. Comparing the peak viewership, it is slightly off the last couple Bellator events. But, those ratings included known fighters in those main events. While Manhoef might be a fighter you might know, it’s not someone you would usually see in a main event.
damn good numbers!
Nice.
